And its Out.

The cyclone.

Removed the release valves.

undone that screw near the handle, gave it a tug. and its off.

This bit was a pain in the arse. Did get it eventually.

Washed everything ,dried it nicely with the hair dryer. just need to put it all back together.

Before i continued on. I had this

Started off by putting the cyclone all back together.

Then the motor and hooking the wires on the RIGHT way, putting the six screws back in.

The Kick plate on

Its starting to look like a DC01 now.

I put the cable threw the hole and hooked it all up.

put that plastic cover back on.

The brush bar all greased up and a new belt on.

The Sole plate on.

The wand and hose back on.

New filters in all round.

Done!. That's much better i must say.

I might buy this one and strip it for our hoover. its a minter though!, might just swap the motor for our one because its practically new.

No, don't strip that! I'll have it if you don't want it and can post! That's the DA001 style font, but the DC01 branding, so an early DC01!

Looks unfaded too. Don't break it for spares!

yeah I know but our hoover needs something to get it back to the way it was. I can't find anything otherwise I would. but that's what our hoover looks like when it was new.

If it has a fixed soleplate, I'll buy that and the bin flap if you are breaking it.

I eventually made my mind up. The motor from our one went into that blue DC01 and is perfect now, Then bought a early DC01 off eBay not to long ago. And used the Parts to get it up to tip top condition. Ah, Perfect.
